CHESTER — As part of the Chester Music Series, the Chester Historical Society will be selling raffle tickets for six painted guitar cut-outs around the village.

Students at the Chester Academy painted these life-size wooden guitar cutouts, and the finished products seen around the village so far are awe-inspiring works of art. The society will benefit by selling raffle tickets at $2 each for the painted guitars both before and during the village concerts .

The guitars have been provided by Mike Farrow, organizer of music series.

Six drawings will be held on Sunday, July 29, from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., in the parking lot behind village hall. You need not be present to win.

The series, now underway, continues through Aug. 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. every Tuesday in downtown Chester.
